Ways that can help improve this for the future would be to ask a peer to read over my work or to double check the resources and facts through another liable resource. I’ve also learned that social skills in groups are essential! Through the experience of one of my groups, I simply assumed all members worked at the same pace; and we would all be done within a good timeline. When in reality I became aware that everyone has their faults and strengths

According to Heward (2009), students with intellectual disabilities have significant limitations in both intellectual functioning and in adaptive behavior. Learning, reasoning, and problem solving, as well as conceptual, social, and practical skills are all areas of difficulty for these students.

using the Academic Subscale of the Social Skills Rating System and rated students on a 5-point scale against the other students in the classroom (Mistry, 2008). Students completed Letter-Word Identification, passage comprehension, and applied problems on the Woodcock-Johnson achievement test and used the student's GPA based on school records (Mistry, 2008).  Researchers used cross-lagged and autoregressive techniques within a structural equation modeling to analyze the data.  Path analysis and full-information

The more children with AS are exposed to social skills and behavior training, the more likely they are to improve their behavior. Parents and other caregivers can learn how to effectively implement treatment mechanisms into the child’s everyday life.
